Vintage car odds and ends from some of my oldies. I got these vanity plates for my dad for Christmas of 1986. These were for my dads 74 Chev Caprice Estate wagon that he bought new. My dad died July 16, 1993 and left me this wonderful automobile.

To this day I do not know what this marking on my 74 Chev wagon signifies. It is a factory marking that says something to a line worker to do. If anyone out there knows what this means, could you please let me know. I would greatly appreciate it.

The mileage on my 74 Chev wagon is now just over 56,000 miles. As of February 2022.

I got these vanity plates back in 1982 and it has now been on three different vintage cars. 1956 Chev 210 sedan, 1957 Chev Bel Air hardtop and now on my 1957 Pontiac Pathfinder Deluxe sedan. Years ago someone offered me $1,000 to transfer these plates over to them legally. I doubt I would take ten times that amount for these plates. They will be with me until I die.

I remember back in the 1980's you could find exterior sun visors for 55 56 57 Chevy's on a regular basis for about $150. In 1997 I found a visor for my 57 Pontiac in Carlisle for $600 U.S. and that was a super good deal from a guy from California. Now good luck finding one.

Everytime I see a station wagon nowadays it reminds me of the movie Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase. I wanted to name my one son Chevy. Lost that argument too. Awesome page to a lost treasure in vacation travels.

I will always remember my Dad's 72 Chevy wagon. His first new car with AC! It was a dream car. So big and great for carrying anything.
I bought it from him and loved it. Nothing like carrying 4 x 8 plywood fit snugly in the back.
Good times! Cheers.

Nice pictures George. I especially like the sun visor on your 57 Pontiac as well as the traffic light detector. Not many people know about that option. I only ever saw one at a car show on a 57 Chevy Bel Air that had almost every option! Cheers, Mario
